Dear colleagues,
Palwal/ Faridabad (Haryana) contingent continues to be in charge of the Jantar Mantar venue.
Medals Depositing on 14 March 2009
A good and practical suggestion has come from Veteran Colonel Vivek Bopiah from Bangalore. He says;
“I feel that we should organise collection of medals centrally in each city and send it onwards to you. All of us could share the costs (within each city) which in any case would be cheaper than sending it individually. Also more Veterans are likely to respond than if it is to be done individually. The medals could be packed by each individual in a thick transparent plastic bag with details (address of the individual, number of medals etc) written in such a way that they are easily identifiable without opening the packet. All can then be packed in a suitable carton centrally in each city collection centre. The package can be labled to reflect the city, the address of IESM City representative and the contents (number of individual sets of medals) reflected on the package. A letter accompanying the package could give the nominal roll of the veterans and their addresses. All that the IESM reps in Delhi have to do is to present the unopened cartons to the President or…edited by me. Later it will be easy to facilitate the return of medals (if and when it takes place). Can you imagine the pile they will make if 300 or more cities send their packages. The media will have a field day to record the mountain of packages. Each City rep must ensure maximum veterans are informed of the collection centres and dates. They could also arrange for plastic packets/ pouches to be given on payment for on the spot packing to veterans who may so desire. Veterans can be invited to give suggestions to refine the above procedure.”
Thank you Vivek.
Do kindly ensure the medals reach Gurgaon (same address as given on membership form) by 13 March 2009.
Letter from Sardar Tarlochan Singh, MP
In response to my letter of thanks to him (I had put the letter on email), Sardar Tarlochan Singh has written-
“Thankful to your letter dated 15th February 2009, this is for your information that during my speech on the address of the President I again mentioned your case in proper words....Assure you my support and cooperation.”
Best regards,
